Abstract
A method for managing connectivity of a central device with a peripheral device is provided. The method includes determining a location of a central device, determining a proximity of the central device to a peripheral device group based at least in part on a comparison of the location of the central device to a location profile associated with the peripheral device group and adjusting a scanning duty cycle of the central device in response to the determined proximity of the central device to the peripheral device group. Bluetooth Low Energy modules and systems are also provided.
